-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SCHOOL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
A endance Policy
At Clarksdale Collegiate, we are commi ed to making every minute of learning me count. In order for scholars to learn and
to reach their academic poten al, they must be in school every minute of every day. Given our fast pace and high rigor,
missing even one hour of instruc on can result in scholars falling behind. Families should take advantage of 2:30 pm dismissal
on Wednesdays, as well as vaca on days, to schedule appointments and travel.
HOURS OF OPERATION
To maximize learning me, Clarksdale Collegiate has an extended day and school year.
● The school calendar includes 185 days of instruc on.
● Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday our day begins at 7:45 am and ends at 4:00 pm.
● On Wednesdays, our day begins at 7:45 am and ends at 2:30 pm.
● Scholars arriving in the building a er 7:45 am will be marked tardy.
● The building will open daily at 7:15 am. For safety reasons, scholars should not be dropped off any earlier.
ATTENDANCE
A scholar is allowed two parental absences per trimester grading period. Parents/guardians must no fy the office by phone, in
wri ng or in person no later than the day the scholar returns for the absence to be considered a parental excuse. All other
absences require medical or legal documenta on to be submi ed to the school office. Documenta on must be submi ed to
the office on the day the student returns for the absence to be considered excused. Medical documenta on will only be
excused full day if the excuse indicates it to be full day. If a doctor’s excuse indicates beginning and ending mes, the excuse
may only be accepted for those mes, not the en re day. Make-up work is required for all absences. Excessive absences (2 or
more unexcused absences in a trimester) will result in follow-up from administrators.
A scholar who exceeds 15 absences over the course of the year, may be retained.
Clarksdale Collegiate may make excep ons to this policy in the instance of an extended absence due to extreme medical
condi ons.
The following support policy will be followed to help ensure that scholars do not exceed 15 absences:
● At 3 absences, the parent/guardian will be contacted by a member of the Leadership Team.
● At 5 absences in the first semester or a total of 10 absences, the parent/guardian will be required to a end a
mee ng during which an A endance Plan will be established aimed at improving a endance pa erns.
● At 15 absences, a second mee ng will be held to discuss the viola on of the A endance Plan.
● Clarksdale Collegiate may retain scholars who exceed 15 absences.
● Excessive absences for truancy may result in the repor ng of a family to relevant authori es.
SCHOOL NOTIFICATION
In the event of an absence or tardy, we ask that parents/guardians no fy Clarksdale Collegiate by 7:45 am by emailing
Clarksdale Collegiate at a endance@clarksdalecollegiate.org or by calling the office. Clarksdale Collegiate will call the
parent/guardian by 8:30 am if there has been no contact.
TARDY POLICY
● A scholar arriving one minute late is tardy. Scholars must be at school by 7:45 am.
● An adult must accompany tardy scholars into the main office to be checked-in.
● Excessive tardiness (5 or more in a trimester) will result in follow up by an administrator.
5
Clarksdale Collegiate 2020– 2021 HandbookEARLY DISMISSAL POLICY
● NO early dismissals allowed 15 minutes prior to dismissal.
● Children will not be dismissed early unless a parent/guardian or authorized adult visits the office in-person and
signs the scholar out.
● At five early dismissals in a trimester, an administrator will schedule a conference with the parent/guardian.
EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAYS
● Clarksdale Collegiate scholars end instruc on at 2:30 p.m. every Wednesday.
● All teachers and staff par cipate in Professional Development on Wednesday a ernoons; as such, there will be no
adults available for student care a er 2:30 pm.
INCLEMENT WEATHER CLOSINGS
In the event of poor weather condi ons such as heavy snow or ice, please check your local television sta on, radio
sta ons, contact the school at 662-351-0106 or visit our website at www.clarksdalecollegiate.org or our Facebook
page.
Clarksdale Collegiate follows the same delay and cancella on policies as local district schools. If local district schools
close due to inclement weather, then so will Clarksdale Collegiate.
HOMEWORK
Homework is an essen al component to your child’s academic success. Our teachers carefully create nightly
homework that provides scholars the opportunity to prac ce and master their academic skills. Scholars receive
nightly homework beginning in kindergarten, with the amount increasing as scholars are promoted. The
opportunity to prac ce the skills learned throughout the day is cri cal to scholars’ academic success.
Accordingly, scholars will not be excused from comple ng homework for any reason. If your child is absent,
homework should be completed upon their return.
If a scholar does not complete their homework, they may sit out of a non-core subject and complete their
homework with the assistance of a staff member. Phone calls home may be made for incomplete homework.
Homework comple on is also noted nightly on your child’s homework folder cover sheet.
If homework is consistently late, missing, incomplete, or of poor quality, the parent or guardian will be no fied. If
a scholar has completed less than 90% of homework assignments in a trimester, consequences include a parent
ac on planning mee ng, deten on, and loss of privileges.
We encourage families to designate a me and place for scholars to complete homework. We do not consider
parental support on homework chea ng—parental support is a key component to scholar success. Scholars should
be able to complete homework independently, but we encourage parents to check over work, and answer any
ques ons. Addi onally, we may assign homework to be done jointly - for example, flashcards for learning sight
words, or having scholars read a book out loud to a parent/guardian.
MAKE-UP WORK
Scholars are responsible for all missed work while absent. Homework is put in homework folders for the week each
Monday. Scholars who are absent can move ahead on their homework folder on evenings they are sick. If absent
on a Monday, scholars should pick up their homework folder when they return to school, and make-up any missed
work.

Last Day of School Report Card NightGrades
Grades are not given at Clarksdale Collegiate, but they are earned. Grades are based solely on academic achievement,
not behavior or effort. Standards based assessments make up the majority of a scholar’s grade. Scholars must
consistently demonstrate the ability to complete a skill or show content mastery in order to receive credit for mee ng
a standard. The majority of the standards are derived from Common Core Standards or state standards. Addi onal
standards are pulled from our college preparatory curriculum.
The grading scale is as follows:
90% - 100% - A
80% - 89% - B
70% - 79% - C
60% - 69% - D
0% - 59% - F
Grades in the core subject areas of Reading, Wri ng, Math and Science/Social Studies include the following
components to make up a scholar’s final grade:
70% - Standards Based Assessments (Topic, Mid-Unit, and End-of-Unit Assessments)
30% - Classwork (2 weekly grades – quizzes, independent work, exit ckets, or projects)
ASSESSMENTS
In addi on to tradi onal classroom assessment measures, we use a standard assessment system to determine
scholars’ reading levels.
● The reading assessments will be administered five or six mes a year in grades K-3. This one-on-one reading
assessment gives teachers and parents important informa on regarding reading fluency, phonics development,
and comprehension. These results will determine the reading grade level that will be noted on the report
cards.
● Interim assessments in Math, Reading and Wri ng will be administered 4 to 6 mes per year.
● All scholars take the NWEA MAP test 3x annually, in fall, winter and spring.
PROGRESS REPORTS, REPORT CARDS, AND SCHOOL-PARENT MEETINGS
Teachers and staff will use daily DRIVE progress reports and report cards to communicate scholars’ academic and
behavioral performance.
Report Cards must be picked up in person at Clarksdale Collegiate during a Parent-Teacher conference at the end of
every trimester. We require a conference each trimester between parents/guardians and their child’s teacher to
discuss report cards. Report cards will not be sent home without a conference.
PROMOTION POLICY
Clarksdale Collegiate’s promo on policy is rooted in a balance of understanding that while scholars learn at different
rates, and may experience plateaus at different mes as they grow, mastery of grade level academic standards is the
best measure for promo on to the next grade level. It ensures that a scholar can be successful in the academic
challenges of the next grade level.
Below is a chart for grade promo on at Clarksdale Collegiate. Addi onally, we take into account the whole-child
and may retain scholars who demonstrate significantly below grade level social development:

We provide scholars mul ple ers of support during our extended day and extended year program, including daily
tutoring, to ensure that scholars have the supports they need to master the skills necessary for promo on.
Daily a endance is vital to scholar success, allowing Clarksdale Collegiate to support scholars as they pursue academic
success and simultaneously teaching scholars to take responsibility for their educa onal futures. Thus, scholars who
miss more than 15 days of school may be retained. We adhere to all regula ons regarding extended illness which does
not impact a endance averages.
We communicate regularly with families to ensure that every scholar is able to meet our a endance requirement,
including through the use of biweekly progress reports, three formal report cards, and the sharing of teacher phone
numbers. Clarksdale Collegiate’s front office closely monitors a endance, and all daily a endance averages are part of
our Academic Accountability Dashboard monthly report to the Board.
In compliance with the Individuals with Disabili es Educa on Improvement Act (IDEA), all scholars with Individualized
Educa on Programs (IEPs) or Sec on 504 Plans will need to meet all promo on criteria for Clarksdale Collegiate unless
their IEP indicates separate goals in par cular content areas. If this is the case, sa sfactorily mee ng those goals will
sa sfy that component of the promo on criteria of Clarksdale Collegiate.
Promo on recommenda ons are made by classroom teachers, and final promo on decisions will be made by the
Execu ve Director. Clarksdale Collegiate reserves the right to make excep ons to this policy given special
circumstances.
SPECIAL EDUCATION
Clarksdale Collegiate believes in providing a free and appropriate public educa on (FAPE) to all scholars. FAPE mandates
that the school provides access to general educa on and specialized educa onal services. It also requires that scholars
with disabili es receive support free of charge as is provided to non-disabled scholars. It also provides access to general
educa on services for children with disabili es by encouraging that support and related services be provided to children
in their general educa on se ngs as much as possible. Clarksdale Collegiate provides a variety of special educa on
programs for scholars iden fied as having a disability as defined by the Individuals with Disabili es Educa on
Improvement Act (IDEA). A scholar may receive special educa on services only through the proper evalua on and
placement procedure. Parent/Guardian involvement in this procedure is required. More importantly, Clarksdale
11
Clarksdale Collegiate 2020– 2021 HandbookCollegiate encourages the parent to be an ac ve par cipant. A parent or guardian who believes his/her scholar may
have a disability that interferes substan ally with the scholar’s ability to func on properly in school should contact the
Execu ve Director.
Response to Interven on
o If a determina on is made that a scholar needs addi onal supports, Clarksdale Collegiate will u lize its
Response to Interven on Process (RTI)/ Mul -Tiered Support System (MTSS) to determine the specific
interven ons needed by the scholar. In the RTI process, a struggling scholar is provided with
increasingly intensive instruc on in his/her area of academic weakness. The scholar’s progress is
monitored, and if there is no posi ve response or improvement, the scholar will be referred for tes ng
to determine eligibility for special educa on services and what services the scholar needs to succeed.
Educa onal Evalua ons
o Clarksdale Collegiate staff members are charged with monitoring scholar academics and behavior to
iden fy scholars who may need addi onal supports or interven ons for academic success. If a staff
member no ces a lack of improvement, the staff member may request an educa onal evalua on by a
school psychologist with consent from a parent/legal guardian. In that instance, a Case Conference
Commi ee is formed and consist of the Execu ve Director, the teacher, Coordinator of Students
Supports and/or special educa on teacher, parents/guardians, and other involved professionals. The
case conference commi ee will make recommenda ons appropriate to the scholar’s needs.
Services Provided
o Scholars who are determined to be eligible for services by a school psychologist will be provided
services deemed appropriate as determined and recommended by the scholar’s Case Conference
Commi ee. The recommenda ons may include a general interven onal plan, a screening, or an
educa onal evalua on that will be conducted according to IDEA/Ar cle 7 regula ons. Scholars who do
not qualify for services under IDEA/Ar cle 7 may be considered for Sec on 504 services under the
Rehabilita on Act.
WITHDRAWAL FROM SCHOOL
If, for any reason, a scholar must withdraw from school, the scholar’s family should inform Clarksdale Collegiate office
prior to or on their child’s last day of a endance. School records will be forwarded when the new school makes the
request. We ask that all families complete a quick exit survey to help the school improve based on the feedback
provided. The survey is op onal but highly encouraged.
Parents have 48 hours to have scholars enrolled in another school or be reported to the appropriate child protec on
authori es.
BUILDING SAFETY AND SECURITY
There are a number of basic procedures Clarksdale Collegiate has in order to ensure the safety and security of its scholars
and staff. Coopera on on everyone’s part will go a long way in guaranteeing that the business of Clarksdale Collegiate –
teaching and learning – can take place. Clarksdale Collegiate may take reasonable ac on against a scholar and/or
parent/guardian for failure to follow school policies and procedures that may risk the safety and security of scholars, staff
and school community, including dismissal from Clarksdale Collegiate. Please refer to Clarksdale Collegiate Code of
Conduct and Parent Comportment Policy.

Raptor
Clarksdale Collegiate is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System in our school to
strengthen our program of campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is

visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff.
Upon entering our building, visitors will be asked to present an ID such as a Driver’s License, which can either be scanned or
manually entered into the system. If a parent or guardian for any reason does not have a US government-issued ID, the school
staff member can use any form of iden fica on and manually enter the person’s name into the Raptor system. The Raptor
system will check to ensure that registered sexual offenders are not entering our school campuses without our knowledge.
The Raptor system checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a na onal database of registered sex
offenders. The registered sex offender database is the only official database checked by the Raptor system. No other data
from the ID is gathered or recorded and the informa on is not shared with any outside agency. Once entry is approved, Raptor
will issue a badge that iden fies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of his/her visit. A visitor’s badge will not be necessary
for those who visit our schools simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork.
The safety of our students is our highest priority and the Raptor visitor management system allows us to quickly iden fy those
that may present a danger to our students. Thank you in advance for your understanding and your support in enhancing the
school safety protocols in our school.
FIRE SAFETY PROCEDURES
In case of an emergency – if a staff member sees fire or smells smoke – he or she will close the door and pull the fire
alarm. Upon hearing the alarm, school staff will assemble scholars in their rooms and proceed out of the building
according to the fire evacua on plan posted in each room. Scholars should follow the direc on of the staff, who will lead
scholars outside the building to the designated loca ons, where school staff will line up scholars by class and take
a endance.
During the first month of school and frequently throughout the year, scholars and staff will par cipate in fire drills to
ensure that the en re school community is familiar with the appropriate response in the event of an emergency.

Clarksdale Collegiate 2020– 2021 HandbookPARENT COMPORTMENT POLICY
Clarksdale Collegiate believes that a posi ve and construc ve working rela onship between Clarksdale Collegiate and a
scholar’s Parent/Guardian(s) is essen al to fulfilling Clarksdale Collegiate’s mission and crea ng a culture in which
scholars, parents, and school staff work together with respect, civility and trust. Should a Parent/Guardian’s ac ons,
inac ons, or behavior while at Clarksdale Collegiate and toward school staff be in conflict with the mission of Clarksdale
Collegiate, its goals, or in viola on of Clarksdale Collegiate policies stated herein, the Execu ve Director will inform the
parent/guardian of the issue and provide the parent/guardian the opportunity to cure the situa on and, as applicable,
change his/her problema c behavior.
TITLE IX POLICY
If any of parents/guardians believes that he or she, or their scholar has been subjected to harassment, he/she should file
a complaint with the Execu ve Director (our Title IX Coordinator) at 662-351-0106 or
ajohnson@clarksdalecollegiate.org. This may be done in wri ng or orally.
If any employee, whether a supervisor or manager, suspects that harassment is occurring, they are required to no fy the
Execu ve Director, who is the Title IX Coordinator for Clarksdale Collegiate. In cases involving the Execu ve Director,
report should go to the Director of Opera ons, Nikki N. Hall at nikki.hall@clarksdalecollegiate.org.
All parents/guardians should take special note that, as stated above, retalia ng against an individual who has
complained about harassment, and retalia ng against individuals for coopera ng with an inves ga on of a harassment
complaint is unlawful and will not be tolerated by this organiza on.
LOST AND STOLEN PROPERTY
We strongly encourage families to ensure that scholars do not bring valuable objects to school. Any items that scholars
bring to school that may cause a disrup on will be confiscated at Clarksdale Collegiate. We make every reasonable effort
to return all personal property to the appropriate parent; however, Clarksdale Collegiate is not responsible for replacing
lost, damaged or stolen property or compensa ng the family for the value of that property.
Scholar Drop-Off
Families who drive scholars to school in the morning must pull up to the lane outside the Clarksdale Collegiate entrance
and wait their turn before allowing their child to exit the car. Our doors open at 7:15 am. At that me, a Clarksdale
Collegiate staff member will be there to greet the car and escort the scholar safely into the building. Scholars should be
seated in the passenger side of the car (curbside), with their backpacks in their laps and their coats on. Parents should
not exit vehicles during drop-off.
The safety and security of Clarksdale Collegiate’s scholars and staff is our priority. Accordingly, parents must adhere to
the above pick-up and drop-off policies and are kindly requested to respect other families picking-up and dropping off
their children.
Scholar Pick-Up
Parents/guardians or their designees may pick scholars up directly from school at dismissal me. Only individuals with
prior wri en consent may pick up scholars. Parents may not go to the classroom to dismiss their scholars before the
regular dismissal me as this is very disrup ve to class. No one other than designated par es will be permi ed to pick
up a scholar. Car riders will line up silently in the hall and the staff will dismiss scholars one at a me for pick-up as
parents arrive at Clarksdale Collegiate. Riders will be walked to cars via the Clarksdale Collegiate entrance on the
eastside of the building.

Clarksdale Collegiate 2020– 2021 HandbookSCHOOL BREAKFAST & LUNCH
Clarksdale Collegiate par cipates in the Na onal School Breakfast and Lunch Program, which provides free or reduced
price meals and free milk to eligible scholars. If necessary, each scholar will be given an applica on for families to
complete at the beginning of the year.
Breakfast is served from 7:20 un l 7:45 a.m. Scholars who arrive late may miss breakfast service. Scholars may either
receive breakfast and lunch from Clarksdale Collegiate or bring their own lunches from home.
Scholars are welcome to bring lunch from home. They will not have access to a microwave to heat lunch or a refrigerator
to store lunch. Soda, sugary drinks, “junk food” and candy are not permi ed. We will send unhealthy food back home
with the scholar.
HEALTHY SNACK POLICY
Because we want to ensure that our scholars are healthy, we have a healthy snack policy. Scholars have a ernoon snack
and we always offer a fruit or other healthy snack (such as pretzels, whole wheat goldfish, yogurt, or string cheese).
Scholars do not need to bring a snack from home, but if they do bring a snack from home, it needs to be healthy.
Examples of healthy snacks include fruit bars, granola bars, celery, carrots, strawberries, grapes, apples, and 100% fruit,
dried fruit snacks. Examples of unhealthy snacks include potato chips, Cheetos, cookies, fruit roll- ups, and cupcakes,
even if the serving is in a 100-calorie pack. Please note that juice boxes are only permi ed if they are 100% juice. If a
snack is not considered healthy by the classroom teacher, he or she will ask the child to take the snack home and eat
one of Clarksdale Collegiate snacks instead.
FOOD ALLERGIES
Clarksdale Collegiate will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate scholars with food allergies. Parents are
required to inform Clarksdale Collegiate and fill out necessary health forms. Once parents have informed
Clarksdale Collegiate, school officials will meet with the family in order to develop an Individual Health Care Plan.
Sharing or trading of food is prohibited for all scholars.
Clarksdale Collegiate maintains a nut-free environment due to mul ple scholar allergies. Accordingly, please do
not pack any products containing nuts in your child’s lunch.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS
In order to ensure every scholar is honored and celebrated on or close to their birthday, we will have a Monthly
Birthday Party for the scholars with birthdays in that month. We will make this a special celebra on for every child
which means we will not have individual classroom birthday par es.
Also, on your child’s birthday, your child has permission to dress up. For that day or the school day closet to their
birthday, they may come to school out of uniform in their favorite ou it.
We will send party informa on to all parents/guardians when it is your child’s birthday month.
If your child does not celebrate birthdays, or if they are not permi ed to celebrate birthdays, please send a note in
wri ng informing us that your child is not to par cipate in birthday celebra ons. This note will be held in their file.

19
Clarksdale Collegiate 2020– 2021 HandbookDISCIPLINE
Student Behavior
The learning environment at Clarksdale Collegiate must be treated as sacred and special! It is essen al that we
create and maintain a school culture that is suppor ve and safe for all scholars. In order to build a culture of
community, growth, and achievement, everyone must act in a manner that promotes and maintains safety,
posi vity, and respect for all. Conduct will be tracked and reported similarly to academic performance because we
believe that sound choices and character are just as impera ve as grades. We “sweat the small stuff” because we
believe that when you are inten onal about all of the details, you are able to be self- disciplined and take ownership
for your choices. This means that we recognize scholars for posi ve choices, as well as hold scholars accountable for
choices that have a nega ve impact. Like praise, recogni on, and awards, consequences are also earned.
Consequences hold scholars accountable for their choices and give them an opportunity to learn and grow.
Consequences are not a permanent measure of our character, they are responses to our individual choices to be
remembered and learned from.
School Rules
Clarksdale Collegiate has four school wide rules and many expecta ons. All expecta ons fall under one of the four
rules.
- Working hard means always doing my best work, comple ng all classwork and homework on me, and
coming to school on me every day prepared for the day.
- Being nice means trea ng others the way I want to be treated.
- Staying safe means following the expecta ons at all mes especially when on the bus, playing on the
playground or when on a field lesson.
- Demonstra ng urgency means staying on task at all mes to learn and grow as much as possible in
prepara on for college success.
Behavior Management System
Our discipline system is broken down into three- ers:
● Tier 1 - Minor fixable misbehavior.
● Tier 2 - Observable choices that violate school rules.
● Tier 3 - Decisions that compromise the safety of others or are destruc ve in nature.
The list below is not intended to address the en re spectrum of student behavior; instead it outlines a range of expected
responses for certain inappropriate choices. The school will always address student misbehavior, even if it isn’t listed
here. All choices will be tracked using DeansList.
Tier-1 Misbehaviors
These misbehaviors are minor in nature, but are unacceptable choices that do not meet the expecta ons that Clarksdale
Collegiate has outlined for scholars. Students will lose paycheck dollars for all er 1 infrac ons. You will consequently
earn silent lunch or loss recess if you lose five or more paycheck dollars (or reach the third step on the ladder of
consequences) for repeated poor choices.
-Talking at an inappropriate me
-Calling out
20
Clarksdale Collegiate 2020– 2021 Handbook-Off Task
-Disrup ve

3rd Time Address the individual, $1 paycheck deduc on and a logical consequence
(si ng away from group, me out in class, silent lunch, etc.)
Tier 2 Misbehaviors
Tier 2 misbehaviors account for choices where scholars are observably disregarding the expecta ons or repeatedly
choosing not to meet a clearly defined or stated expecta on. These types of infrac ons warrant an automa c paycheck
deduc on and logical consequence.
Examples:
-Ignoring a teacher’s direc on
-Being disrespec ul to teacher or scholar (verbal and non-verbal)
-Using inappropriate language or gestures
-Physically engaging with another student while horse playing
-Leaving class without permission
Tier-2 Misbehavior Teacher Response
1st Time Address the individual, $2 paycheck deduc on and logical consequence
2nd Time Address the individual, $2 paycheck deduc on and a phone call home
Tier 3 Misbehavior
Tier 3 misbehavior includes any act that compromises the safety of a fellow scholar or any other member/visitor of the
school community, inten onal destruc on of property, or deliberate non-compliance of a school expecta on. These
types of infrac ons always earn a student a referral to an administrator and a $4 paycheck deduc on.
Examples:
-Repeated Tier 1 or 2 behaviors
-Bullying
-Dishonesty
-Damaging school property
-Stealing
-Tantrum that puts others in danger
-Blatant disrespect to scholar or teacher
-Physically engaging with another scholar maliciously
21
Clarksdale Collegiate 2020– 2021 HandbookTracking Behavior
In an effort to improve communica on regarding behavior, we have developed a partnership with DeansList to provide
weekly informa on that scholars, parents, and teachers will be able to review and discuss. All scholars will be receiving a
weekly paper progress report paycheck that a parent/guardian must sign.
Below is a list of the deposits and deduc ons that the paycheck system will u lize to assess and provide feedback on
your choices each week. THIS IS NOT REAL MONEY ☺ Scholar dollars will allow scholars to earn addi onal
